Cloverfield 2?

Hey kids, remember Cloverfield? Here's a trailer for the sequel, which might not be a sequel if you believe the random people on twiter who were talking about it yesterday.

There's pretty much zero official information about the movie. The title showed up on a list of trailers that were scheduled to run at like AMC theaters or something, then one of them leaked on line via Jerry Seinfeld like DeathBlow camera and boom this morning the official trailer is available on Facebook and Youtube.

Apparently the only small piece of information that we can confirm is that this movie used to be called Valencia and was only changed to 10 Cloverfield Lane at the last minute. There's nothing in the trailer that would lead you to believe it was related to 2008's Cloverfield but isn't that just like JJ Abrams? Could it be a movie set in the "Cloverfield" universe but dealing with an entirely different set of events? Maybe this is a prequel, maybe this is related to the Cloverfield project that was only briefly referred to in the first movie. Whatever the big mystery is we don't have long to wait, the movie premieres in March.

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict this will make a bunch of cash, maybe not Star Wars cash but we're at least talking Star Trek cash. I know not everyone holds Cloverfield in high regard but I feel like there's enough of a fan base, plus the post Star Wars buzz Abrams has going will equal the first big hit of 2016.

Yes, I realize I just implied that Deadpool was going to flop. More on that next week.
